Ryanair 'wins Twitter' after making rapid Eurovision joke

Ryanair has received rafts of praise on Twitter after making a joke about a Eurovision 2023 contestant.

Finland's Käärijä took to the stage with his entry, Cha Cha Cha, wearing a green bubble top that covered only his collar and arms. And budget airline Ryanair saw it as the perfect opportunity to crack a funny.

It comes as many travellers try their best to avoid paying for the extra baggage by wearing extra clothing or packing as many items as possible into one carry on bag.

Sharing a snap of Käärijä, Ryanair, which is known for its less than generous free baggage allowances, said: "If you have eight pairs of pants up those sleeves we'll cha, cha, cha, cha, charge you #Eurovision".

Twitter followers clearly found the gag hilarious. Calisto said: "Tweet of the day", while Louise said: "Shout of the night". Rok said: "Ryanair has just won Eurovision".

Miguel said: "Ryanair's social media manager must be proud". Mark said: "Ryanair remains undefeated", and Chantelle said: "Ryanair wins Twitter".

The budget airline regularly makes jokes on social media. Just a few months ago Ryanair was praised for its sassy response to customer's hack to avoid paying for baggage.
